Description

• Equinix is the world's digital infrastructure company. • Looking for a Principal Engineer who will drive the innovation, design, implementation, and improvement of large-scale systems. • You'll create and design, but you'll also implement those designs and model great engineering behavior for the team so we can grow. • Drive execution of at least one major product area. • Help directors and other managers staff projects with the right engineers. • Build an R&D culture, bootstrapping new solutions or dependencies as needed. • Foster an efficient build-it-and-run-it culture, blurring the lines between operations and development, reducing friction to fixing things that are broken. • Engage the global Equinix community internally and externally. Much of the work of the team will be freely available to the world through open-source.

Requirements

• You have a broad background writing software, and operating production systems at scale, in various contexts and have some specialties in modern cloud infrastructure and systems. • You have experience with networked storage (iSCSI, NVMe-TCP, RoCE, NFS, object storage, and MPIO) and able to explain at a high level to a CEO while going deep with technical teams. • Networks aren’t the network architects problem to solve, you’re in deep with them. MPLS, VXLAN, EVPN, DCB, PFC, and multicast are all network technologies you’re comfortable with. • You are equally happy writing an operator in k8s or dropping into the Linux kernel. • You have strong opinions about the direction of cloud infrastructure, but you hold them loosely and enjoy working with others to achieve the best outcomes. • You blur the lines between development and operations. The best team to debug a novel production problem is the team that wrote what’s running. • You're an expert in at least one programming language, proficient with several others, and have opinions about them all. • You need to be able to build good, modular abstractions and motivate engineers who are building production software. • You make decisions with data when available, and push for making them available when they aren't. • You enjoy communicating through written English. As knowledge workers, we are effectively teachers and historians. • You're a servant leader, understanding that your team is successful because of you working to empower them and remove barriers.
